T. R. M. Howard: Doctor, Entrepreneur, Civil Rights Pioneer tells
the remarkable story of one of the early leaders of the Civil
Rights Movement. A renaissance man, T. R. M. Howard (1908-1976) was
a respected surgeon, important black community leader, and
successful businessman. Howard's story reveals the importance of
the black middle class, their endurance and entrepreneurship in the
midst of Jim Crow, and their critical role in the early Civil
Rights Movement. In this powerful biography, David T. Beito and
Linda Royster Beito shine a light on the life and accomplishments
of this civil rights leader. Howard founded black community
organizations, organized civil rights rallies and boycotts,
mentored Medgar Evers, antagonized the Ku Klux Klan, and helped
lead the fight for justice for Emmett Till. Raised in poverty and
witness to racial violence from a young age, Howard was passionate
about justice and equality. Ambitious, zealous, and sometimes
paradoxical, T. R. M. Howard provides a complete portrait of an
important leader all too often forgotten.
